Technologies
The backend of the project is written in Go, providing a robust and efficient foundation. The frontend leverages the power of React and Tailwind CSS to create a responsive and modern user interface. The app itself is built using Wails, a framework that enables the development of desktop applications with Go and web technologies. For data storage SQLite is used to manage project and command information. For handling domain and port management for each project Nginx and Dnsmasq are used.
Future Development
The project is actively maintained and new features are added regularly. Some of the planned improvements include:
- Improved cross platform support
- A “services” feature to manage anything you might need to run projects (think databases, runtimes, etc.)
- More customization options for projects
- Better error handling and logging
- Enhanced security features
- And much more!
